Unfortunately, the investment did not create the profit they had hoped. Settlers were not familiar to the diseases of their new land. Cases of dysentery, malaria, drought, and malnutrition carried off several settlers. A program involving indentured serving was advertised in England because their colonies needed settlers. Many signed up to become servants to land owners in Virginia in order to obtain a free passage from England. The “free labor” eventually lost popularity,...
